About this ebook
'The book everyone's talking about' The Times (Book of the Year)
'Titania McGrath is a genius' Spectator (Book of the Year)
'Beautiful classic satire' Ricky Gervais
'Hilarious . . . the most artful form of subtle parody' Joe Rogan
'Just as Bridget Jones was the embodiment of the anxiety-ridden Nineties feminist, a creation whose diary entries encapsulated all our hopes, fears and failures, so Titania McGrath is her millennial successor, a girl every bit as lost and confused, every bit as accurately observed - and equally, catastrophically, hilarious.' Sarah Vine, Daily Mail
In Woke, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism, Titania is uniquely placed to guide her readers through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute twenty-first-century 'wokeness'. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don't read the Guardian.
Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn't understand what 'non-binary' means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.
Timely and indispensable, Titania's step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her.

I love this book! The satire is just hilarious, and I love her sense of humor! I reread it often just for the laugh. Really encapsulates how crazy certain people are. Imagine thinking there are more than two genders 😂

This is a book by a psychologicaly stunted little girl screaming at the world about how privileged it is from, in her own words, "one of her Kensington Properties". To try to give her position some sort of relevance she spends a lot of the book name dropping. Quite frankly go find another book... any other book.

Wow! Just the intro made me cringe. Arrogant and self righteous to the extreme. This gen is so self absorbed, oversensitive n lacks the empathy it portrays.they need to look beyond their FB, insta etc profile. The world dose not revolve around u n ur not the only one who has a hard time. The world has a new bully and it now has a 1000 virginas! Careful u dont trigger it!!! Pfft harden the f up princesses! Can u identify as a human?!

About the author
Titania McGrath is a radical intersectionalist poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed peaceful protest. A regular on the live-slam poetry scene, Titania regularly performs at arts festivals, deconsecrated churches and genderqueer spiritual retreats. Her unique blend of art and activism has been variously described as 'inspiring', 'groundbreaking' and 'woke as fuck'.
